As a former K2 owner I can say at least half the fun of one of these was to
build it myself.

This is one of the last kinds of major kits that involve assembling all the
components onto a circuit board.  Today with all the surface mount devices
the technical challenge is too much for most of us and kits largely become a
mechanical assembly of already completed circuit boards.

I don't know the answer to the question though I agree with someone else who
said they are different commodities.  However, in the long run an unopened
kit may be worth a small fortune, like some unopened games and Barbie dolls
are.  The K2 deliveries are presently TBD . . . I have one (my fifth) on
order and no ESD is posted.  I assume it's a parts problem.  The K2 has
already had a number of small component modifications made as the
traditional parts have become unobtainable or uneconomic.  If it were
possible to place an order for the final five S/Ns, whenever that happens,
I'd pay for them today.  What say, Wayne -- will you make me that deal?

Hello all,
Does anyone have experience as far as which is more marketable?
Assembled or unassembled? Is there a price difference in posting either for
sale?
Thanks!
Ken, W2GIW
